Verizon Galaxy Note 2 was released with locked a bootloader since Verizon Wireless did not want it to be open to custom development, ignoring the fact that the are great minds of Android community are smart enough to undo their cunning deed. In fact, Verizon Galaxy Note 2’s bootloader was unlocked as early as last Monday when XDA developer’s Adam Outler claimed that he with his great team have had been successfully unlocked the device. And now, Adam is back again with a full-fledged video teaser that explains to us the whole procedure.

The Verizon Galaxy Note 2 was rooted just a couple of days after it launched, but a full bootloader unlock method was not devised till Adam came up with his achievement. The Verizon Note 2 with unlocked bootloader will allow developers develop custom recoveries, custom ROMs and more hacks and mods for the device. After being unlocked, the device has become, as Adam says, ‘the most secure device on the market, to the least secure device publicly available“.

Caution!

The Bootloader Unlock method described here is only meant for Verizon Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605. Please, do not use it with any other Galaxy Note 2 variant. Having unlocked your phone do NOT flash anything that contains a sboot.bin file.
